Escape Plan 2: Hades Page #3

---

Come on.

After you went missing,

Breslin started digging.

He thinks this place was started

by the same people behind the Tomb,

so I...

I screwed up. Ended up in here.

Doesn't matter.

I'm close to getting the layout.

- What do you want me to do?

- Nothing yet.

The less contact we have, the better.

Shu, it can't be a coincidence

that all three of Breslin's

specialists are locked up here now.

No, it can't.

Assume they are watching us.

Please.

He's close to giving it to you.

Close?

He won't last.

Then he needs to give me what I want.

Or I'll feed him

to the rest of the animals.

I've tried to make soup dumplings

since I was a kid,

but every time,

the dough is too stiff.

Look, I don't know what your deal is,

but... I don't want to die.

What they are doing to you is wrong.

Then let me help you get home.

They blindfold me when I go

from my cell to the kitchen.

That's not the only way to see.

Sixteen, 17, 18, 19, 20...

How many steps?

Twenty-four.

The one gift

every prison gives you is time.

Don't waste it.

Visualize the layout

every chance you have.

It was 45 this morning.

What?

Steps to the kitchen.

The distance doubled?

Come on!

I need to get in the sanctuary.

Yeah, and I need a Coke.

Sweet dreams.

All prisoners return to your spoke.

I repeat,

all prisoners return to your spoke.

Even the most complex of narratives

are often based on one simple idea.

The answer is most likely

right in front of you.

The prison is moving.

The cell spokes

change entry points to the zoo.

Like a Rubik's Cube?

We got no routine. We got no layout.

And we have no help.

Maybe we do.

Neo-Nazis?

Computer nerds.

They brought them in some time back.

They rounded them up

in some random basement in Iceland.

The call themselves The Legion.

The leader's handle is Count Zero.

He's screwed with

more Fortune 500 companies

than you and I can name.

But our zookeeper's got a problem

'cause he doesn't know

which one is actually Count Zero.

He's interrogated them day and night.

No sanctuary time ever.

Why does the prison care?

Because Count Zero

has acquired the specs to the prison.

They need to know who he is

and where his servers are.

- Specs of the prison?

- Yes.

If you can find out which one

is Count Zero before the prison...

maybe he can help us.

I need to see Bug.

I need to see... Bug.

If you want a book on insects,

they're upstairs.

Okay. Right this way.

Bug.

DeRosa?

Sparrow.

- Who is he?

- Come on. I can't give that to you.

The Insect Society

- clients remain anonymous.

- Clients remain anonymous.

- Above all else...

- Shut up, Bug.

We've been boys for a long time.

I love what you guys do here.

Now, Bug...

But I'm gonna have to

kick the sh*t out of you

if you don't start talking to me.

I'll get you a name.

Thank you.

I'm gonna need one

more thing from you.

Yusheng's close.

Time is up.

You're asking him to give up

his life's work.

We both know that

that's not what this is about.

You know exactly what

that tech can do.

Time is up!

No!

Battle is over.

Inmates 1789, 3486, 6412,

you've earned two hours

of sanctuary time.

I need your help.

One of you knows the

layout of this place.

Wait. The sanctuary.

Have you ever been in?

Give me that layout,

I can get you in.

We are Legion.

We are Legion.

Count Zero.

If you give me the logic of the

layout, I can get us out of here.

How did they know?

Kimbral was trying to upstage you.

You told me everything.

You work for the prison.

I run the prison.

Our Jasper Kimbral? I don't get it.

You got to follow the footprints

from the time he left this place

to wherever he is now.

Hades has got to be somewhere.

Yeah, the underworld.

Abigail, can you give us a minute?

Okay.

I know we've had our differences,

but I got to hear it from you.

Swear to me we're okay.

What are you talking about, man?

Of course we're good.

All right.

And you're still paying me

good money to hack sh*t, right?

Why would I mess that up?

So what've you been working on

behind closed doors?

Let's just say I'm

working on something

that will improve the communications

between us.

Hello, Shu. You've met my zookeeper.

We couldn't break 'em.

Extraordinary.

Three men, and they wouldn't

turn on one another.

But you...

you've got them on your side.

You got them to trust you.

I've waited a long time

to see that look on your face.

Look who's here. It's Lukey.

Aw, come on. Aren't you guys happy

to see each other?

When the investors of this place

found out that Ray Breslin'sprotg

had been cut loose, you can imagine.

Breslin cost them a lot of money

on their last investment.

These people do not

like losing money.

They needed someone better...

more current,

so... voil.

Welcome to Hades.

So, we're here

because you want your revenge.

Yes.

Unwavering, complete and definitive.

See, everyone in this zoo

is worth money to me.

They all have information

that someone out there

thinks is worth

millions of dollars...

especially your cousin Yusheng.

You two...

you're worth nothing to me.

Then why don't you kill us

and get it over with?

Where's your fighting spirit at,

Luke? Huh?

This place is designed

to give you hope.

You win a battle, you get benefits.

Read a book. Make art.

You lose a battle,

then you lose food.

Start to doubt yourself.

Then you set goals,

and you rise again.

All the drama of the human condition

is represented right here

in my zoo.

I'm gonna make sure that you two

have plenty to do.

When you wake up, you'll be the men

who sold out Count Zero.

That should give you a unique

perspective on the human condition.

Inmate 1764,

report for battle in the zoo.

Inmate 1924,

report for battle in the zoo.

Begin battle.

When he's in the zoo,

make sure he fights every day.

There are no more

truce days for Shu...

until his will is broken

and we have Yusheng's technology.

So you have no layout.

There is no routine.

And you have no help.

But there's always a plan B,

even for these a**holes.

They try to make this place

look totally automated,

but you saw those human guards.

That's their plan B.

What is yours, Shu?

They're alive.

Kimbral, report.

We're closer than ever

to breaking Yusheng.

Closer?

Well, report back when you do.

Focus more on getting that patent

than your revenge.

It's a risk bringing him here.

He beat their last facility.

I'm gonna show them

he can't beat mine.

Let's see some hands!

Now! Let's see 'em!

Target's compliant.

- Yeah, we got him.

- Bringing him in now.

Lock him up, lock him-

Before it was all theoretical.

What design is best,

what strategy works

against what defense.

But now it's real.

You against me.

All right, you won.

Not yet.

I wanted to go more algorithms,

let the machines run the show.

You said no.

You talked about human intuition.

The value of teamwork.

Well, there's three of you now.

Show me.

All prisoners report to the zoo.

I repeat,
